Here we are in week 2 of this life changing experience and I have learned so much, just about life.
I learned how to put a bed frame together.
I learned how to cook a home cooked meal without being at home (definitely not the same).
I learned that no matter where I am in this world my family and friends back home will always want to know how I am doing.
I am learning how to make friends.
I am learning how it is like to be turned down from jobs.
I am learning that God doesn't have to show up just cause you are singing worship songs.
I am learning that in this world, more people believe that Jesus lived and died but didn't rise again.
I am learning that being a girl it is more dangerous for me to be by myself in this big city.
I am learning everyday that my heart will long for different and new things everyday.
I am learning that to be a good person, I will have to actually have to try and not be a bad person.
I am learning that home is always where my heart will be.
Learning new things can be exciting, stressful, beautiful, amazing, hurtful, and if you let it, more than you want to learn. But that's the beauty of it all, I want to be broken for new (good) things to be brought in my life. I am willing to be on my face for new things to come into my life. I thought I was desperate. I thought I was hungry for what I want. But I am just not showing my heart like I need to be. I am not doing enough to show God that, this, this is really what I want.
I would rather be the poorest, hungriest, most desperate girl on this earth and be filled with his presence everyday, than to be the most wealthy, most beautiful, most care free and have what a everyday Christian has. I don't want to settle for ordinary anymore. I want to be set-apart from what we call ourselves. I want to be the girl that sets an example.
I was born a leader. I was never, nor will I ever be, a follower.
"I will lead my generation to the promise land."

Life in FL
I just recently moved to Brandon, FL. I am currently living with Cj and Micki Frazier. Yes, that's right the one's that will soon be leaving and going back to TX. I am living with them over the summer time and trying to figure what I want. A lot of people were confused when they found out that I was still going, after hearing the news that Cj and Micki were coming back. Well, I can't base my life on someone else's. I felt that it was God's timing to move to Fl. So, here I am.
I love it so far. The people are great and I've never had so much available to me at once. I live in a town with a Super Target and a Chick fil a. Before, I lived 10 miles from the closest grocery store. Its definitely different. Everything being at the tips of my fingers. Now living in a town with 5 different Starbucks, a mall, a beach 20 min away, Disney an hour away, and a bunch of everything else. I am meeting new friends and so excited to get to know everyone else.
Ok, lets recap since I've been here. Festival on Tuesday night, I attempted to eat the biggest chili cheese fries batch I've ever seen. Had the BEST strawberry short cake, and Threw all of it up on the One and only ride of the night. Wednesday ate some of the thickest pizza i've ever seen. Thursday had the best waffle from The Waffle House. Friday went to the dirt track in Ocala and watched Devin get 3rd place despite the circumstances. First time I've actually enjoyed racing. Saturday went to the mall and the grocery store and almost ran into a lady and hit her basket. Oh yeah, and I joined a 24 hour gym :). and Today I worked out and went to 1 and half church services. If one week looks like this how is 2 and a half years going to look?
I love life here, its everything I expected and more. I just wish I didn't have to miss everyone back home. My mom and dad. My brothers and bestfriends. My second families. Every little kid that I ever spent time with. All the girls at work. Everyone. Aunts Uncles Cousins Grandmas Grandpas. It was hard and it continues to be hard, but thanks to everyone for supporting me in this experience of my life. :)
Pictures will be up soon<3
